Ashot Shaybon is the pseudonym of the Armenian writer, poet and playwright Ashot Gasparovich Gasparyan (1905-1982), better known for his works of other genres. He was a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR. The first publication in the science fiction genre was the story “Night Rainbow” (1942). Chaibon’s only science fiction work translated into Russian was the novel “Conquerors of Darkness” (in Armenian the book was called “In the Land of the Whites” shadows"). The continuation of the novel - the books “Captains of the Space Ocean” and “Secrets of Planet Earth” have not been translated, and our publishing house plans to fill this gap by publishing them in Russian.
